2015 Volvo S60 2.0L Diesel · WD15 GUJ

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-08 recorded multiple failures despite the vehicle having 71,146 miles. Key issues included incorrect offside headlamp aim, nearside headlamp too high, a discoloured rear direction indicator, and a near-limit tyre. These indicate ongoing problems with lighting and safety components, which are critical for roadworthiness. Recurring mechanical patterns show repeated failures related to headlamp alignment, rear indicators, and brake binding. The offside front service brake binding was noted in 2024, while headlamp and indicator issues appeared in 2023, 2024, and 2025. These suggest persistent maintenance needs, particularly with lighting systems and brake functionality. The trend shows no clear improvement. While some issues like brake binding were addressed in 2023, others re-emerged or worsened, such as the tyre wear and headlamp aim. The 2025 failures indicate that previous repairs may not have resolved underlying causes, raising concerns about long-term reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 71,146 miles for an 11-year-old car is typical, suggesting average usage.
